Roomers Magazine
The “ROOMERS” project recruits local writers, artists, photographers, journalists and cartoonists to work as volunteer mentors with disadvantaged local residents.
Mentors meet with resident contributors to assist them with their creative material. The ROOMERS magazine is distributed FREE to residents of rooming houses, private hotels and supported accommodation across the City of Port Phillip
Who?
Almost all contributors to ROOMERS are local residents or ex-residents of rooming houses, private hotels or supported residential services in St. Kilda, South and Port Melbourne.
Why?
“ROOMERS” aims to give residents:
- an outlet to publish their creative work;
- the opportunity and incentive to improve literacy, creative and communication skills;
- access to a skilled mentor;
- access to current agency information from a resident perspective;
- a means of reducing social isolation and encouraging community participation
